$30,000 Price Adjustment! INCREDIBLE DOWNTOWN CARRBORO LOCATION! Elevated above N. Greensboro Street, this historic 1912 former Alberta Cotton Mill meeting house offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of local history with complete creative freedom. Built when the town was still known as Venable, this +/- 1,400 sq ft, 4BR/2BA, east facing home features irreplaceable historic character, including soaring high ceilings and classic beadboard. Best of all, it is NOT on the historical registry, giving the next owner total flexibility to renovate, modernize, customize or reimagine without architectural restrictions. Move-in ready and beautifully refreshed, the property boasts fresh interior paint, a professional top-to-bottom clean, and a newly re-stained front porch and back deck. Enjoy an unmatched downtown lifestyle on a primary bus line, nearly across from Dingo Dog and Breakaway Cafe, and just 1/3 mile from Carr Mill Mall, Weaver Street Market, Southern States, Harris Teeter, dining, and close to the famous Carrboro Farmers' Market. Park the car and let the sidewalk in front take you anywhere you want to go in downtown Carrboro. Don't miss this unique historic gem with downtown convenience!
